You can help “KEEP FIRST NIGHT WESTPORT WESTON GOING”

22 07 2009

Dear First Night Supporter,

Your support of First Night Westport/Weston continues a tradition that has been part of the fabric of our community life and spirit for 15 years. A tradition of celebrating the New Year through a celebration of the Arts and a tradition of community support. On behalf of the Board of Directors of First Night, our volunteers and attendees we wish to thank you for your support and for your commitment to First Night 2010.

You may have read reports of the financial difficulties facing First Night given, not only last year’s economic meltdown and ongoing downturn but also, winter’s worst storm that landed on December 31 2008. That event had a severe impact on our revenues.

Raising funds to present First Night 2010 is undoubtedly a challenge. First Night board members have been inundated with calls and messages and the message is clear “KEEP FIRST NIGHT GOING”.

We are committed to presenting a 16th First Night.
But we need your help.
With your early support, together, we can make this happen.

To ensure First Night 2010 please show your support by contributing to our fundraising drive. Please send your tax deductible donation to:
First Night Westport/Weston
PO Box 745
Westport CT

Barbara Pearson Rac, President
Denise Torve, Executive Director
